  • They just won’t make The Sims.

    The Saudis won’t touch it or anything like it. They have the death penalty for adultery, The Sims is unacceptable (at least, the sims that we know).

    They might have a Sharia Law version where the fully-covered women juggle raising children and making meals to please their husband.

    They will make games for their market (and China).

    Sims is a US-market-game that is against Islamic law.

    Instead, they can make FIFA and other sports games and shooters. I doubt they’ll even make RPGs as we know them, Baldur’s Gate 3 for example would not be made in a Saudi studio.

    Yeah, exactly what we expected to happen when Saudis bought it.

    Saudis are Islamic, there are no pride parades in Saudi Arabia. There will be no more “secular” games from Electronic Arts, so somehow EA has found a way to suck even more.

    The Saudis are an embarrassing US ally, not even getting into the royal family. They’re no better than Iran in my opinion.

    I can understand doing business with them, I think trade is the best way to open doors and find common ground. But an ally?

    It’s against my religion.



  • The mods do whatever they want, many break their own posted rules with regularity.

    In my experience, in Lemmy they are more apt to delete a comment then ban, so that is nice.

    There’s no logic to it. I’ve said “The nation ___________ says this, their motto is ___________ … (and then repeat their own slogan from their own officials).”

    Delete. 100% true, easily verifiable everywhere, public information pertaining to the discussion, deleted.

    So, if you’re censored or banned, that just means that you’re a thinking person with reasonable opinions who bases your conclusions on the factual information available to you.

    It’s a good thing. Thank God.

    If they agree with you, please get help immediately. Time is short.

    1. If you are just a basic prole who wants to use a forum and discuss today’s issues, Lemmy seems to be a smaller version Reddit. How does it stand out?

    2. The name is awful. Twitter grew regardless of the name, so maybe this point is dumb. Also, avatar looks like a rat.

    3. Rainbow. If you want more users, expand your market. Rainbow in USA means Democrat LGB. Would you like more Christians and Muslims to join? Hindu?

    4. I’m a moron, not a programmer… but wouldn’t a lot more users destroy Lemmy? From my reading of what other smarter people have said, too much growth would lead to exponential costs and isn’t really feasible. I am not well read on this topic, so apologies.

    I would guess that the founders made these design decisions to exclude normies, maybe that’s also why they picked the name and selected the rat icon. In which case, everything is working as designed and all is well.


  • My windows “start” menu takes at least a full minute to open. Then, when I select, say, Control Panel, it takes another full minute, totally blank with no options

    I’m not a programmer or even smart, but isn’t that absolute shite? I’ve used Commodores, Apple II, Macs, 386, 486, have used windows since first job (I don’t remember my first Windows version, but it played Tetris in color. Three? haha 3)

    Menus have always worked before.

    My next laptop will be linux Mint because I like mint ice cream. Does it have menus that open? I am super excited.

    I apologize but it made me really mad and now i feel better.
